Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC and could use some advice. Here's my current setup:
- CPU: 5700x3d
- Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
- GPU: RTX 3060ti EVGA
- RAM: 16GB DDR4 (with rising prices, this upgrade might be pricey)
- PSU: Be Quiet Pure Power 750W
I've been noticing some issues with the USB ports on my motherboard, so I'm considering changing that. Given my current specs, should I just replace the GPU or is it worth doing a full upgrade? Thanks in advance!

If you're replacing the motherboard, you might want to go for a full upgrade and switch to an AM5 platform. But, your existing setup can handle a new GPU like the 9070xt without any hassle if you're not ready for a complete revamp yet.
True, but switching to AM5 would mean getting DDR5 RAM and a new CPU too. You might end up overhauling the whole setup.
